The Mormons Of Utah are very anx-
ious TO secure the admission Of that
territory into the union asastate. 10 pro-
mote this object they offer to incorporate
in its constitution a section forever pro
hibiting polygamy. They further pro
nose that this section Of the constitution
..shall be constructed as operative
without the aid Of legislation what
ever that may mean. The trouble with
constitutional prohibitions is that they
do not prohibit, unless they are backed
by an overwhelming public sentiment.
The value Of clause prohibiting po-
lycamy in in the state Of Utah would
depend entirely upon the character OF
the people of Utah If a majority Of
them. or very powerful minority
held that polygamy is right, and es
pecialy if they held, as Mormons pro.
fess 10 do. shat it is ordained by God,
tho prohibition would be dead letter.
What the people of the United States
are concerned to know. before they adj
nit Utah into full fellowship as state,
is whether it is likely to be worthy
member of the comman union. What
the Mormons desire, without doubt,
IS to strengthen the position OF their
church by throwing over it the shield
of state government. They can afford to
put almost any kind of declarations in
the constitutions providedthey can
be assured of controlling the new state
government They need not care much
what the constitution is, provided they
acquire the power of administering the
government and including the national
authorities from direct control of their
affairs.
